Hello fellow Podders! We just brought our new R-Pod 176 home yesterday and are looking forward to our maiden voyage next weekend. We have never owned a camper before so have a lot to learn! I have a question that seems kind of silly but where do you keep your toothbrushes? I was hoping that I could stick a suction cup holder on the wall but the walls will not accommodate that. I'm not sure about putting them in the wall pouches as I am afraid it could make them gross (the pouches that is). Any suggestions? I'm probably over thinking it but she's so new and pretty right now I want her to stay that way :) Camping with two kids (girls 8 and 5) and a golden retriever I better get used to it getting a little dirty! Thanks for your help! ------------- 2009 Chevy Trailblazer 2013 RP 176 2 kids and a dog |

Hi Congrats. We bought 2 or in your case 4 brush head holders that enclose the brush head and we stored them in our dop kit. I think w/ 4 you could also use the wall in the shower with suction cup toothbrush holders but the enclosed caps keep them a bit cleaner. GOLDENS RULE !!! how old is yours? Ours is 11 but acting like 5. Happy Podding ------------- John Kris "Lady Sarah" our Golden Aiken SC |

We just keep ours in a tooth brush travel case (the best way that I can explain them) that we keep in a couple of small baskets that fit between the stove and the wall. Mother Goose has one and I get one, we throw our loose change, batteries, name tags and what ever else fits plus the tooth brushes and small tubes of tooth paste in there. It's handy.

Thanks for the ideas! Pod-a-terre, our Golden is 6. She's not so sure about the R-Pod yet. She doesn't even want to come in! I coaxed her in with a treat once but that same trick didn't work a second time. I suppose she will get used to it in time, she has to as she'll be coming on most of our adventures with us. ------------- 2009 Chevy Trailblazer 2013 RP 176 2 kids and a dog |

We bought a "shoe tree" that hangs on the bathroom door, then our various meds, deodorants, toothbrushes, sunscreen, etc go into all of the pockets.

I just leave mine in my shaving bag.. It's got a cover on it. Been living with/out of a shaving bag for 35 years.. have not died yet from dirty teeth or brush.

Get a small suction cup holder that will fit where you want it to (ours is above the sink towards the corner), throw away the suction cups and use 3M Command Hooks to hang it with or double-stick tape. ------------- P & M ... and Comet too! 2012 171 -- The Monkey Pod 2018 Ram 2500 |
